According to the Marin County Sheriff's Office Coroner Division, authorities are currently investigating his death, which is suspected to be a suicide due to asphyxia.

So sad. We are absolutely shocked to hear this.

Meanwhile, rep just released a statement on his behalf:

“Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.”

The late actor had checked into rehab back in July to focus on his sobriety.

Good actor loved movies, but what a copout. People in this crapy world have been through more. Hince girls held captive forten years and they cherish life. I feel sorry for family only for the pain he caused them. What a losser to do that to them.

Robin Williams is dead and the news simultaneously reports that Kim Kardashian is showing her tits (again for the umpteenth time). No part of her is news as we have seen ALL of her parts by now. She is not worthy of comparable news coverage as Williams' passing. PLEASE give us a rest from that useless self-aggrandizing pile of plastic and tell us what happened to Robin Williams.

"Passed away" b.s. He slashed his wrists and hung himself on a door. Douche bag. What if his wife or child found him? What a fucking mess he must have made spurting blood everywhere. Selfish prick. Why didn't he check into a hotel? Going to have to replace the carpet.
